25 years ago, Michael Jordan played for the White Sox against the Cubs at Wrigley Field — and got 2 hits

Imagine if Lakers superstar LeBron James got the itch to play football, convinced the Rams to invite him to training camp and then played an exhibition game against the Chargers in the Coliseum.

Just like Michael Jordan did with baseball, James showed some proficiency playing a second sport in high school.

No compatible source was found for this media.

But high school’s a far cry from the pros.

That makes what Jordan did April 7, 1994, so remarkable. It’s not just that he played for the White Sox in an exhibition game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, or that he notched 2 RBIs off a single and double.
